Introduction It is latest construction
technology which save time and money resulting in easy execution of the project in busy urban areas without disturbing the existing traffic pattern.
Sky bus technology launched 15th at 2003 at madgaon ,goa .
Discovery it is developed by
Mr. B. Rajaram. Sky bus metro
concept first presented in bologna university italy ,by him in 1989.
It offered by konkan railway.
Description Heavy 52l60 kglm rails placed
at standard gauge floating in elastic medium and damped by interia of measured mass held in a 8m*2m box enclosure, supported over a 1m dia.column spaced at 15m and located at 15m distance from each other.
Capacity Can carry 18000pphpd-
72000pphpd.
Can shift 20ft containers for corner to corner.
Working principle Standard railway coach running
on railway track. The under frame with standard
railway wheel set running on railway track.
The railway wheels remains same ,they on same track ,the coach is firmly attached.
In a curved manner

Sky way It consists of
concrete box structure carried over a series of piers at a height of 8-10m above existing road level.
Two rails fixed with fastening within the concrete box support and guide the sky bogie .
Sky bogies Standard two axle bogies. Speed of 100 kmph (max
160kmph). Linear induction motor-to be
driven. Disc &emergency brakes.
Sky coaches double walled
light shells –wide large windows.
Air –conditioned travel –automatic doors.
Audio visual information to passengers.
Sky station Smaller area
consumption. Fully computerized
–entry by electronic swiping cards.
Totally automated without drivers or guards.
Service is every 2 minutes –no waiting time for passengers.
Entry & exist portion
Traverser arrangements Traverser is
a system which automatically shift sky bus unit from one track to another .
Advantages fast transportation Mass transport (36000pph& max
up to 72000pph as required) No land problem Fire protection Noise free High capicity No pollution
Disadvantages Consume high electricity.
High initial installation cost.
High maintenance cost.
Why sky bus saves 50% to 75%
Convential railway provides for heavy steel coaches to protect people .
So carry more steel and dead weight instead of people .
With total weight of 48t ,a railway can carry only 70 persons in 20 m length.
Sky bus has no such problem .no derailment hence uses very light weight coaches and carries more people using less dead weight .
Sky bus with the same weight &length carries 300 persons comfortably.
Future scope For overpopulated cities ,it is
safer. Inexpensive mass public
transportation . Sky bus is an improved railway
technology ,eliminates the problem of city suffering from heavy traffic.
